As the managing partner of the corporation, Sitdekov Tagir Alievich supported the regional expansion of the network of private clinics, which has been part of Sistema since 1996. In 2021, a deal was made to acquire more than three dozen Dialine and Promeditsina medical centers in Volgograd and Ufa.

Tagir Sitdekov’s systematic work to increase the production capacity of Binnopharm Group enterprises means more medicine can be produced within the country. Thus, one of the company’s main factories increased its production by a quarter in 2022, up to 64.5 million packages, and launched the production of 13 new drugs (including vital and essential medicines). About 70 new products are planned to be introduced in 2023, to be exported to a number of countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as to Uzbekistan and Moldova.

This particular asset of the corporation is developing new biotechnological drugs for the treatment of socially significant diseases. It recently created 12 types of innovative medicines. For example, in early February 2022, Sistema-Biotech presented FORPASS (Forced Protein Association), its own technology that helps to block the growth of cancer cells and purify patients’ blood plasma of the protein that determines the development of atherosclerosis. The effectiveness of the advanced technology has already been proven in experiments at the cellular level and it is currently being tested on living organisms.
